Beautiful grounds good location

No housekeeping or towel refresh if booked on booking.com they actually said this. Had to gather and bring towels to front desk in front of guests checking in

Grounds were beautiful, beach access perfect.

we paid for an ocean view but didn't have one. we were told the building we were in was an ocean view building and that was that! the unit is in much need of updating. Resort advertises that there is a pool and restaurant, but they were off site across the main highway.

I loved being on the ground floor with patio straight onto a true garden of paradise. From this unit (unit 45) yes there are other units directly in front of you, however they are far away enough to be inconsequential, and they are low-rise two story units that are aesthetically nice, largely covered by trees and foliage anyway. I liked the wooden venetian blinds, ceiling fans (plus air-con), and very clean and modern (enough) interior. The beach is just a couple minutes away by foot, the surrounding gardens are wonderfully maintained (well done gardeners!!!) and the deck chairs for guests only are nice, and the beach hut with recreational swimming gear is a nice touch, convenient!

On some occasions the people above were noisy (walking about) - luckily they arrived a day before i left...I can imagine it could get annoying (e.g. if louder for longer). The cupboard had some old stuff inside (broken body board, old ironing board etc) - easily forgotten about. There were one or two cockroaches but that said we're on a tropical island(!!!) - all the Windows/doors have nettings so also must be aware to help keep them out. I have read other reviews, people complaining about the overall quality of their unit etc - I too would have also been angry if this place had not been nice (luckily this particular unit was nice) notwithstanding that it ain't exactly cheap (I was there solo). Lastly, beware, if not a 'paradise' unit you might be placed into one of the larger (very much) more ugly buildings with 12+ or so units in each *as opposed to the unit that is the subject of this review, which are in blocks of 6 with v nice surroundings)

Location and grounds were great.

No daily room make up. Had to get our own fresh towels etc. An in room washing machine/dryer would be a nice addition also.

Location was fantastic

Sofa bed was terribly uncomfortable

the location itself and the ambience is really good.

some of the condos are by the road and pretty noisy

This was one of the last places available in Poipu and the least expensive when I booked a few months ago. Still with all the fees, added up to over six hundred a night. I wouldn't do it again, partly my fault for booking over the Dec. holidays. That's on me. Other times are less. It's a bit of an older place, last time we stayed was in 2009. Updated since. Perhaps because of the holidays, it was pretty noisy with families and friends, plus the grounds crew spend a lot of time mowing and leaf blowing (battery powered still make noise). Grounds crew was very friendly. They did provide beach chairs, plus one towel per person with a card you traded in. The unit had 3 portable beach chairs and happily a beach umbrella, two boogie boards. The particular unit we were in had some funkiness electrically, it took a couple days to figure out the various remote devices for fan, light, TVs, despite instructions and me being tech literate. My spouse wouldn't have figured it out. The internet was basic,, but it worked. The kitchen could have used some improvements, mentioned to the facility. Funky refrigerator, could use a hot water maker and a few more kitchen things, like at least a manual orange juicer. Came without spices or cooking oils. Pretty stripped bare. That was a surprise. We left some with instructions to NOT toss for the next renter. Only they will know (:-) Kiahuna Plantation does provide propane BBQs strategically located. If you have an EV, they appear to offer complimentary L2 charging. Check with them if that's of interest. The beaches around Poipu are pretty nice, though after some extreme weather are a bit rockier than I recall in years past. There's an athletic club you'll have access to, plus some shops, food, etc. within walking distance. However, get on the road and explore to the east - old sugar plantation, then west and up to Waimea Canyon and park.

Proximity to piopu beach.

The bed was uncomfortable.
